Act React is a Brisbane-based company specialising in pop culture-inspired performances.
We are best known for our big “The Movie, The Play” site-specific comedy homages. So far we have paid our own special loving tribute to the Keanu Reeves Speed, the romantic tragedy Titanic, and everyone’s favourite Christmas movie Die Hard.
These shows are interactive in nature, but involve the audience in a positive and supported way. Our aim is to leave audiences exhilarated and laughing.
We have also created a number of boutique comedy works designed for both traditional and non-traditional theatre festivals.
Act React shows have now toured many festivals around Australia. In 2019 the company made its debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Like so many arts organisations, Act React was forced into shutdown by the Covid-19 pandemic. We are still navigating our way forward in this new environment.
We truly appreciate the support and love shown for our shows from audience members. Our name, Act React, reflects the fact that involving the audience is a key factor in our work.
Thank you for being a part of the experience!
